How old everyone is, how long you've been trying and if this is your first time TTC?

Me - Just turned 32, trying for 9 months (2 early miscarriages in that time) and first time TTC.

I feel like I'm running out of time!! 😫😫

I'm 32, just about to turn 33. Started tracking about a year ago. My husband's vasectomy reversal was in September. Just got my first ever BFP. Hoping it sticks.

My family is CRAZY fertile, though. My one sister had 5 live births, 1 stillbirth, and two miscarriages. My younger sister had 3 live births and no losses. Taking 4 months to conceive was actually long comparatively.

He's 40. There were swimming sperm in his sample both during surgery and at his follow-up.

I'm 36, tried for 6 years and nothing. We then moved on to an RE, we did several rounds iui's all were non successful. Finally did IVF. First round I mc, second round (Fet) I had a healthy baby boy! He turned 2 in December. We are now trying for #2 naturally, hopefully we are blessed again!

I’m 33 in September and feel the same. We’ve been TTC #1 since September 2017 and had an early miscarriage in November 2017. Each period is such a heartbreak, I’m currently on TWW count down and planning on testing Wednesday. My husband keeps saying that it will happen we are both really healthy and look after ourselves but I’m losing hope.

You’re fine!! I started trying at 38. First time ttc. Got pregnant right away but miscarried at 8 weeks. Started trying again around August at 39 years old. Pregnant in Oct. at 13 weeks currently and I’ll be 40 in March. I think you just have to try to make it fun. I didn’t track ovulation or anything. Just had sex A LOT and boom! Every other day all month long. It was a blast!! Wishing you the best!

I'm so sick of hearing that! I'm also sick of hearing "At least you're getting pregnant!". There is no positive to getting pregnant and not staying pregnant. Not being able to get a sticky baby can be even worse than not getting pregnant at all. People don't seem to understand that.

Great question! I'm turning 32 in less than three months and we just started trying last month. Been together since 2005 and married 2012 but kept relocating the last 8+ yrs and wanted to finish Master's programs first despite wanting to try since last year! I have Endometriosis, also, so I've been anxious if we will have trouble. I can't say for sure, I feel you on the worry, but science says we aren't too old just yet! Though my doctor did tell me to see her if we don't succeed after three months... Not sure if that's bc of age or the Endo or both. Fingers crossed for us both 🤞♥️

I’m 36 and TTC #1. My husband and I have been trying for 4 months. It’s discouraging seeing how long it’s taking some folks, and equally as depressing hearing those not TTC getting pregnant on accident and/or while on birth control. Growing up, I swear they made it sound like it happens easily! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hearing that clock ticking pretty loud, and innocent comments from friends and family (that don’t know we’re actively TTC) definitely doesn’t soften the tick-tock.

I keep saying to my friends "I spent my whole life being terrified of accidentally getting pregnant and took every possible precaution to stop it from happening...and now I cant even make it happen on purpose!"

I just turned 32 on the 18th, and we have been trying since October. My husband & I have been together since 2006, and were married in 2009. When we decided to start TTC I had been on birth control since I was 19, so I went to my doctor to ask a few questions; he told me that if we didn’t have success after 6 months to buy an ovulation kit, and if we didn’t have success after 12 months to come in & we can reevaluate and come up with a new plan. We’re staying hopeful & keeping everything as stress free as we can.

I've also now just been told that I need to take valium for TMJ issues for the next 6 weeks, which knocks me out for 2 cycles...We'd already put things on hold for a while because I got a new job, and now this...no trying until April. Trying to hold things together, but I'm just devastated.My husband doesn't seem to have the same feeling that we're running out of time. I'm just so worried that I'll never get a sticky baby.
